Associate in Technology-DTA/MRP

Purpose

This degree is a Major Related Program designed for students
transferring to Eastern, Central, or Western Washington Universities to
complete one of the bachelor's of science in technology degrees, such as
industrial technology, mechanical technology, applied technology,
technology education, or technology with various options (manufacturing,
electronics, design, or construction). This degree meets the
requirements of the Statewide Technology DTA and Engineering Technology
AS-T Track 2 (MRP) Agreement.

Elective credits should be planned with
the help of an engineering advisor and be based on the requirements of
the specific program at the baccalaureate institution that the student
plans to attend. This two-year program requires students to be calculus
ready by the third quarter of the first year. Students not well prepared
in high school mathematics and science should plan a three-year program
at Centralia College in preparation for transfer to a four-year school.
The main emphasis in the first year should be to strengthen mathematics,
basic sciences, communication, and reading skills.

Program Outcomes

Please refer to the Distribution Requirements and their criteria listed
on pages 36-38 of the 2013-14 Centralia College catalog.
